Code:

javac filename.java

javac compile a ".java" to a ".class" file, regardless of its purpose: an application, an applet, both or none ...
This is true on both windows and other platforms including linux.

".exe" is for the most part windows specific. Executables in other operating systems generally will have no suffix. If the program "javac" is in your PATH (echo $PATH to check) then you can simple type "javac [program]" to compile it.

I would better say: not having a suffix for executables used to be Unix/Unix like specific.
Most (All?) other operating systems available at the beginning of Unix were using a suffix, ususally (.exe, .com, .bin).
Nowadays, most O/S are no more needing a specific suffix for executables, with the notable exception of DOS descendance, where this archaism is still present.
